Leaking like a sieve

These leaks aren't the seals fault, my roof has cracked beading on the roof line externally and that's what lets the water in. I'd try running some tent water proofer down the stitching line. As I'm replacing my roof next year I put a line of Aquaseal drysuit seal along the bead. It looks hideous, but stopped the morning shower on my shoulder when opening the roof.

Mike i have seen a few boots fill with water after having new roofs fitted and every time the cause is either one of the trim screws or a piece of material falling down and blocking the drain ports hidden in the quarters. Have you checked those reservoirs? I realise it isn't the cause of the leaking in the images but don't right off that the two might not be related.
Have well do the latches work? My MY00 had a weak seal due to warn plates. You can tack a bit of weld on the striker plates and grind it into shape for a better grasp.

I agree with you get what you pay for but considering so many have used him with little issue I assumed his work would be worth while. Obviously I was wrong.

Had/Have the exact same issue it got to the point it was like a tap on both sides in the rain, had a guts full after putting up with it for a month and other methods of fixing it had been useless so I filled the rubber seal cavity completely with black silicone, and put some in the corner. guess it was a last resort fix, doesnt look "too obvious"
Starting to debate having a fixed hardtop in place

Chill your pants, Mickey5. As you say, there's many satisfied customers, so he can't be a cowboy, you're just an unfortunate anomaly, which is how I've described you ever since we met 
There's been moans on here about more expensive products too. They all feck up now and then.
The only other complaint I've ever seen was dealt with straight away, so he may well be helpful if you can spare the time to go back to Swansea.
I don't think there's any greater risk of getting a duff product from JS, it's just a pain in the arse if you're the unlucky one when you've travelled for a bargain.

As said I can't spare any time in traveling back to that shit hole.
Will fix it myself, least it will be done properly-ish this time.
